"A framed vintage patent looks expensive but costs almost nothing to make."
— The operating philosophy

The Consignment Route

Walk into I-44 Flea Market or a local antique mall. Ask a vendor with a permanent booth if you can place 5 framed prints on their shelf — 20% commission on whatever sells. No booth fee, no risk. Start small, learn what moves.

The Weekend Push

Save up 30 frames. Rent a cheap outdoor space for one weekend. Sell out your stock in two days. Walk away with $200+ profit. That covers your entire year's goal in a single weekend.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SPECIFICATION

Not vintage decor.
A piece of history.

Every print we carry was drawn by an inventor who changed the world. Some of them changed how we listen to music. Some changed how we move. Some changed how we see. We just gave them a better frame.

Curated. Framed. Ready to hang.
